"To write poetry and to commit suicide, apparently so contradictory, had really been the same, attempts at escape."

Previous Quote

In a fallen world marked by human depravity and deep-seated sin, in a world where Hitler and Stalin had recruited millions of followers to commit mass murder, love must harness power and seek justice in order to have moral meaning. Love without power remained impotent, and power without love was bankrupt.

— Timothy B. Tyson
